God's Choosing Series

Contributed by Don Baggett on Mar 8, 2008

God doesn’t have to answer to us, yet in His mercy He does answer many of our questions that we could never figure out on our own.

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Nov 6, 2006

This salvation message takes a look at the person of Jesus Christ through the eyes of the Roman Centurion. A powerful testimony of a ruthless man of power who became a changed man of God.

Integrity, Zeal, Knowledge: What’s In Your Wallet? Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 6, 2012

That’s how a bunch of Vikings and a credit card company challenge us to consider a switch to their card. 2. But what is in your wallet?
